The last time I saw him in Baltimore he was embarrassed to have such an awful coin so I got this one cheap.&nbsp; Brian tended only to have the very nice, the very interesting&nbsp; or the very rare.&nbsp; I really want to know if he knew it was a legionary type.&nbsp; I have shown it here several times. It is a favorite. It is occasionally best to buy the worst coins in a dealer&#039;s stock when that dealer is usually &#039;too good&#039; to handle such &#039;garbage&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>Latest:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1446839[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>First (1997) I wanted to figure out the countermark but never did that I can recall:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1446840[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>These things are changing now.&nbsp; It seems that many dealers are having a hard time buying stock.&nbsp; There are some uncharacteristically&nbsp; poor coins being included in sales by some &#039;name&#039; houses.&nbsp; Some of them are selling like they were decent but others are not.&nbsp; I&#039;m glad I&#039;m not trying to feed a family as a coin dealer right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
